*Sniff*

This is a bit of a venting post. Because: I'b sik. I hate being sick. :(

(Sniffle, cough, sneeze.) I am just glad the nausea went away a few days ago.

I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon because I have had this nasty cough and sore/raw throat for almost a week now, with no sign of it relenting, plus it has gradually become accompanied by headache, body aches and pain, fever, chest, throat and head congestion, and of course, lots of sneezing and sniffling, and to top it all off, I am sooo sick of pretzels (or as I used to pronounce them, "prent-zels") and juice, and chicken soup , and other chicken soup , and crackers, and 7-up. I want to eat real food again. Drink milk without coughing. I haven't had milk in 5 days... :(

My head feels about 3 times as big as it should be. I can't sleep properly. I am tired and sore and sniffly and cranky.

I was supposed to go to Edmonton yesterday w/Chris, but, as a result of my above-mentioned issues, I decided it would be better for him if I didn't. (Can you imagine being cooped up in a car all day with someone as sick as me??? You'd be sniffling/coughing, etc. in no time.) Besides, Chris already sed he's feeling achey and is beginning to cough...

Sigh.

Hey, when everyone else is really sick, if you are coughing and sneezing a lot, do your shoulders and collar bones get sharp excruciating pain running through them after you sneeze? No? Just me? Hmmm....

Another question for the doctor.

Okay, I am about done whining now. I figure it was my right to whine, being sick and all.

In other news, Mom and Dad are with friends, approximately 1286 miles, or 2070 kilometers, (or 81,530,726 inches) south-west of our house. That's right, they flew to San Francisco, with flowers in their hair... (Disc 2, song 3) or something. :)

Anyway, they'll be flying back on friday nite, and staying in Edmonton til the next day.

Until then, we are fending for ourselves around here (not as difficult as it sounds). Oh, and feeding the puppy. 6-years-old-on-April 7 puppy, but whatever. He was sooooo sad after Mom and Dad left with their luggage!!! He was panicking when they left, so Mom brought him to see me, (then sleeping off some nausea). Even now, he sits all day waiting for them to come home, in his bed by the door. Poor puppy. The only time he gets distracted is when there is food, or Chris or Willy comes home. :)

I am just killing time until my doctor's appt. Hopefully, my doctor can recommend SOMETHING that I can actually take.

Because of the prescription medication I am on, I can't take cough, cold, flu, congestion, etc. medicines, besides the otc cough drops that I hate. The only ones I like are these. And they don't really have much in the line of medicine in them. They're like candies... :)

But, even so, they only soothe my throat. They don't do anything for my headache/aches/pains/fever (taking acetaminophen -can't take ibuprofen, same reason as cough, etc. medicines), nor do they help with congestion/sneezing... :(

Oh, yeah, I said I would stop whining. My bad.

:)

I am going to go have a bowl of soup (agaaaaaiiiinn), and maybe a long hot shower...

Or maybe I should just make Ranger cookies, my faves!!! (Not like I can taste them...)

Hmmm... tough decision.

Cookies it is.

I can shower after I get flour all over.

Oh, I updated the wedding watch site, too. Not much, but it's updated at least.

Anyway. ttyl.

Sickly, TheAnyKey...
